    Here is another German Dienstpass - an example belonging to a friend collector in the US.
    The service passport was issued in 1938 to a stenographer who was also a translator. She served briefly in pre-war (!) Poland and returned back home due to an illness (she resumed her job briefly for a few months only at the first half of 1939, returning back home before the war erupted). From 1940 to 1941 she was assigned to the German Armistice Delegation for Economics which was located, at first, in Wiesbaden, then from 1941 to 1942 she was transferred to Paris once the commission was moved to occupied France - this could explain why her Dienstpass was extended and re-validated as well on March of 1941 (her capacity at the commission was as a foreign-language stenographer). Upon her return back to Berlin she continued to worked at the Foreign Office: First at the Protocol Department then later on at the HR Department.
    An important addition: Polish embassy in Berlin attaché Zbigniew Szubert, who issued the service visa in 1938, was detained by the Germans at the outbreak of war the following year and released - he was then transferred with his colleague, Cpt. Dipl. Leszek Bialy who was the deputy military attaché and was also detained with him, to Denmark (the Germans claimed that 2 of their diplomatic staff were detained - which was not true at the end thus releasing the two).
